Sharma cards bogey free 64 to jump to 11that Turkish Airlines Open

India's Shubhankar Sharma fired a flawless eight-under 64 in the second round to rise to Tied-11 at the halfway stage of the Turkish Airlines Open golf tournament here on Friday.

The 23-year-old Indian, who was T-37 overnight, holed eight birdies without dropping a bogey to bring home the day's second best card.

"The best part was that it was a bogey free round," said an elated Sharma, who is nine-under for 36 holes.

"I drove much better than the first round and my iron play was on the spot. I found all fairways barring two, one of which was barely an inch off.

"I seem to have a birdie chance on most holes and the longest putt was just over 10 feet, maybe about 12. So I played my approaches also well."
"I did miss a two and a half foot putt and on my last hole, the ninth, I had a makeable eight-footer, which I stroked well, but it did not fall."
On the gameplan for next two days, he said: "On a course like this any of the players can come up with a low number and zoom up, so I need to play well to stay somewhere up. Today's job was well done, but there is two more days to go."
